21CARE OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVENTurn the oven off before cleaning.Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food spatters orspilled liquids adhere to oven walls, wipe with a damp cloth.Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasives is notrecommended.The outside oven surface should be cleaned with soap andwater, rinsed and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent damageto the operating parts inside the oven, water should not beallowed to seep into the ventilation openings.If the Control Panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry cloth.Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives on Control Panel.If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of theoven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when themicrowave oven is operated under high humidity conditionsand in no way indicates malfunction of the unit.It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning.Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.The roller guide and oven cavity floor should be cleanedregularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergentwater or window cleaner and dry. The roller guide may bewashed in mild sudsy water.1234567ROLLER GUIDEGlass Tray Roller GuideThe ROLLER GUIDE and oven floor should becleaned frequently to prevent excessive noise.The ROLLER GUIDE MUST ALWAYS be used forcooking together with the Glass Tray.12GLASS TRAYDO NOT operate the oven without the Glass Tray inplace.DO NOT use any other Glass Tray with this oven.If Glass Tray is hot, ALLOW TO COOL before cleaningor placing it in water.DO NOT cook directly on the Glass Tray.(Except for popcorn)1234The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affectthe life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
22QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any foodin it. Is it damaged?* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage theoven. However, it is not recommended.* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guideremoved?* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be usedin the oven before cooking.* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating?* A : The door can be opened anytime during the cookingoperation. Then microwave energy will be instantly switchedoff and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed.* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven aftercooking?* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal.It is caused by steam from cooking food hitting the cool ovensurface.* Q : Does microwave energy pass through the viewingscreen in the door?* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the ovencavity. The holes are made to allow light to pass through.They do not let microwave energy pass through.* Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?* A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due tosteam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this,simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Nevercook eggs without piercing their shells.* Q : Why this standing time recommended after the cookingoperation has been completed?* A : Standing time is very important.With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in theoven. Many foods build up enough internal heat to allow thecooking process to continue, even after the food is removedfrom the oven. Standing time for joints of meat, largevegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cookcompletely, without overcooking the outside.* Q : What does “standing time” mean?* A : “Standing time” means that food should be removed fromthe oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finishcooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.* Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as themicrowave cooking guide says?* A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you’vefollowed directions exactly ; and to see what might causevariations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heatsettings are suggestions, to help prevent over-cooking... themost common problem in getting used to a microwave oven.Variations in the size, shape and weights and dimensionscould require longer cooking time. Use your own judgementalong with the cooking guide suggestions to check whetherthe food has been properly cooked just as you would do witha conventional cooker.* Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates whileempty?* A : Yes. Never run it empty.* Q : Can I operate my microwave oven without theturntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large dish?* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poorcooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on theturntable.* Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?* A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise,depending on the rotation of the motor when the cookingcycle begins.* Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I getthe best results?* A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn followingmanufacture’s guidelines. Do not use regular paper bags.Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as soon as thepopping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repopunpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
23COOKING INSTRUCTIONSUtensil GuideOnly use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens.To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by thedish used. Care must therefore be taken choosing the utensil. If the utensil is marked microwave-safe, you do not need to worry. Thefollowing table lists various of utensil and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.●: Recommended use▲ : Limited Use✕: Not Recommended Utensil Safe CommentsAluminium foilCrust plateChina and earthenwareDisposable polyester cardboard dishesFast-food packaging• Polystyrene cups containers• Paper bags or newspaper• Recycled paper or metal trimsGlassware• Oven-to-table ware• Fine glassware• Glass jarsMetal• Dishes• Freezer bag twist tiesPaper• Plates, cups, napkins and Kitchen paper• Recycled paperPlastic• Containers• Cling film• Freezer bagsWax or grease-proof paperCan be used in small quantities to protect areas against overcooking.Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to the oven wall or if too muchfoil is used.Do not preheat for more than 8minutes.Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usuallysuitable, unless deco-rated with a metal trim.Some frozen foods are packaged in these dishes.Can be used to warm food. Overheating may cause the polystyreneto melt.May catch fire.May cause arcing.Can be used, unless decorated with a metal trim.Can be used to warm foods or liquids. Delicate glass may break or crack if heated suddenly.Must remove the lid. Suitable for warming only.May cause arcing or fire.For short cooking times and warming.

Should not touch the food. Take care when removing the film as hot steam will escape.Only if boilable or oven-proof. Should not be airtight.Prick with a fork, if necessary.Can be used to retain moisture and prevent spattering.▲●●●●✕✕●●●✕✕●✕●●▲●
24USE YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SAFELYGeneral UseFoodARCINGIf you see arcing, open the door and correct the problem.Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven.Arcing is caused by:• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas). • Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or gold rimmed dishes,in the microwave.• Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces beingused in the microwave.Do not attempt to defeat or tamper with safety interlocks.Do not place any object between the oven front frame and thedoor or allow residue to build up on sealing surfaces. Wipe witha mild detergent, rinse and dry. Never use abrasive powders orpads.Do not subject the oven door to strain or weight such as a childhanging on an open door.This could cause the oven to fall forward resulting in injury toyou and damage to the oven.Do not operate the oven if door seals or sealing surfaces aredamaged; or if door is bent; or if hinges are loose or broken.Do not operate the oven empty. This will damage the oven.Do not attempt to dry clothes, newspapers or other materials inthe oven. They may catch on fire.Do not use recycled paper products as they may containimpurities which may cause sparks or fires.Do not hit or strike the control panel with hard objects. This candamage the oven.Never use your microwave oven for home canning. The ovenis not designed for proper home canning. Improperly cannedfood may spoil and be dangerous to consume.Always use the minimum recipe cooking time. It is better toundercook rather than overcook foods. Undercooked foods can be returned to the oven for morecooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be done.Heat small quantities of food or foods with low moisturecarefully. These can quickly dry out, burn or catch on fire.Do not heat eggs in the shell. Pressure may build up and eggscan explode.Potatoes, apples, egg yolks and sausages are examples offood with non-porous skins.These must be pierced before cooking to prevent bursting.Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven.Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after theoven has been switched off to allow the temperature to evenout, stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir afterheating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, youshould put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stirbefore, during and after heating.Do not leave the oven unattended while popping corn.Do not pop corn in a paper bag unless it is the commerciallyprepared Microwave Popcorn product. The kernels canoverheat and ignite a brown paper bag.Do not put packaged Microwave Popcorn bags directly on theoven tray. Place the package on a microwave safe glass orceramic plate to avoid overheating and cracking the oven tray.Do not exceed the Microwave Popcorn manufacturerssuggested popping time. Longer popping does not yield more popcorn but it can result inscorch, burn of fire. Remember, the Popcorn bag and tray canbe too hot to handle. Remove with caution and use pot holders.
25MICROWAVING PRINCIPLESMicrowave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR in World War ll.Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources.Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.CONVERSION CHARTSIn a microwave oven, electricityis converted into microwave bythe MAGNETRON.REFLECTIONTRANSMISSION Then they pass through the cookingcontainers to be absorbed by thewater molecules in the food, all foodscontain water to a more or lesserextent.ABSORPTIONThe microwaves cause the water molecules to vibrate whichcauses FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This heat then cooks the food.Microwaves are also attracted to fat and sugar particles, andfoods high in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can onlypenetrate to a depth of 11/2 - 2 inches(4-5cm) and as heatspreads through the food by conduction, just as in a traditionaloven, the food cooks from the outside inwards.WEIGHT MEASURES15 g 1/2oz.25 g 1 oz.50 g 2 oz.100 g 4 oz.175 g 6 oz.225 g 8 oz.450 g 1 lb.HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD▲▲▲VOLUME MEASURES30 ml 1 fl.oz.100 ml 3 fl.oz.150 ml 5 fl.oz.

26STANDING TIMEDense foods e.g. meat, jacket potatoes and cakes, requirestanding time(inside or outside of the oven) after cooking, to allowheat to finish conducting to cook the center completely. Wrapmeat joints and jacket potatoes in aluminium foil while standing.Meat joints need approx. 10-15 minutes, jacket potatoes 5minutes. Other foods such as plated meal, vegetables, fish etcrequire 2-5 minutes standing. After defrosting food, standing timeshould also be allowed. If food is not cooked after standing time,return to the oven and cook for additional time.MOISTURE CONTENTMany fresh foods e.g. vegetables and fruit, vary in their moisturecontent throughout the season, particularly jacket potatoes. Forthis reason cooking times may have to be adjusted. Dryingredients e.g. rice, pasta, can dry out during storage so cookingtimes may differ.DENSITYPorous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods.CLING FILMCling film helps keep the food moist and the trapped steamassists in speeding up cooking times. Pierce before cooking toallow excess steam to escape. Always take care when removingcling film from a dish as the build-up of steam will be very hot.SHAPEEven shapes cook evenly. Food cooks better by microwave whenin a round container rather than square.SPACINGFoods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pilefoods on top of each other.STARTING TEMPERATUREThe colder the food, the longer it takes to heat up. Food from afridge takes longer to reheat than food at room temperature.LIQUIDSAll liquids must be stirred before and during heating. Waterespecially must be stirred before and during heating, to avoideruption. Do not heat liquids that have previously been boiled. DONOT OVERHEAT.TURNING & STIRRINGSome foods require stirring during cooking. Meat and poultryshould be turned after half the cooking time.ARRANGINGIndividual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placedon a dish so that the thicker parts are towards the outside.QUANTITYSmall quantities cook faster than large quantities, also smallmeals will reheat more quickly than large portions.PIERCINGThe skin or membrane on some foods will cause steam to buildup during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a strip of skinshould be peeled off before cooking to allow the steam to escape.Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages etc, will all need to be piercedbefore cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BOIL EGGS IN THEIRSHELLS.COVERINGCover foods with microwave cling film or a lid. Cover fish,vegetables, casseroles, soups. Do not cover cakes, sauces,jacket potatoes or pastry items.COOKING TECHNIQUES

Covering might allow cooking totake place. Always remove outer wrap and tray. Use onlycontainers that are microwave-safe.•Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down. Begindefrosting roasts fat-side-down.•The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallowrectangular shapes defrost more quickly than a deep block.•After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the food. Toymay wish to turn over, break apart, rearrange or removethawed portions of the food.•During defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn the over. Atthis point, open oven door and check the food. Follow thetechniques listed below for optimum defrost results.Then, close oven door, touch the START pad to completedefrosting.•When defrosted, food should be cool, but softened in allareas. If still slightly icy, return to microwave oven very briefly,or let stand a few minutes. After defrosting, allow food tostand 5-60 minutes if there are any icy areas.Poultry and fish may be placed under running cool water untildefrosted➪Turn over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey breasts, hotdogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.➪Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops,hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood pieces,chunks of meat such as stew beef.➪Shield : Use small strips of aluminum foil to protect thin areasor edges of unevenly shaped foods such as chicken wings.To prevent arching, do not allow foil to come within 1-inch ofoven walls or door.➪Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed portions should beremoved from the oven at this point. This may shorten defrosttime for food weighing less than 3 lbs.(1350g).Cooking chart- Chilled meat and poultry should be removed from therefrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking.- Always let the meat and poultry stand, covered aftercooking.- Brush a little oil or melted butter over the fish, or add15~30ml(1-2 tbsp) lemon juice, wine, stock, milk orwater.- Always let the fish stand, covered, after cooking
28Reheating chart • Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns.• When heating pre-packaged ready-cooked foods, always follow the pack instructions carefully.• If you freeze foods which were bought from the fresh or chilled counters, remember that they should be thoroughly thawed beforefollowing the heating instructions on the packed.
